I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'now?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how they can define each other.

(Other definitions for settee that I've seen before include "Chesterfield" , "Multiple seat" , "Sofa, couch" , "Comfy seat" , "Piece of furniture" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
